Feds admit tariff refund system can't handle the billions Trump owes burned importers

The Trump administration's online portal for processing refunds on tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court will only handle approximately 63 percent of 53 million import entries when it debuts, according to a court filing submitted Tuesday.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials told the U.S. Court of International Trade that the system cannot process refund claims for the remaining one-third of entries immediately, without providing a timeline for subsequent phases, reported Bloomberg.
